<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Client Committee,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We wanted to confirm one point in the draft ICANN bylaws, in Annex F which addresses the caretaker IANA budget.&nbsp; In Section 1 of Annex F, the “caretaker” IANA Budget is defined as “an
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">annual operating plan</span> and budget that is established by the CFO in accordance with the following principles…”&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;However, the CWG proposal refers to the ICANN annual operating plan and budget, but
 refers only to IANA budget (and does not refer to an annual IANA operating plan).&nbsp; We believe the reference to an annual operating plan in Annex F for the IANA caretaker budget was a carry over from the ICANN caretaker budget annex and should be deleted.&nbsp;
 Can you please confirm?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
